Ensuring warfighting interoperability across all domains

ALSA rapidly and responsibly develops and publishes multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures publications (MTTP), studies, periodicals, and other solutions across the entire military spectrum to ensure interoperability in all domains.

ALSA Center Mission

• We are a multi-Service organization of Warfighters

• Governed by a Joint Actions Steering Committee (JASC) comprised of senior leaders from the Service doctrine centers

• 1973: CSAF (Gen Brown) and CSA (GEN Abrams) initiated the TAC-TRADOC Dialog to increase joint coordination and interoperability

• 1975: HQ TAC and HQ TRADOC established a joint directorate, Air-Land Forces Application (ALFA), for development of joint concepts, doctrine, and procedures for the conduct of the Air-Land Battle

• 1992: MCCDC and LANTFLT assigned permanent billets to ALFA… became ALSA

• 1997: ACC and TRADOC transfer organizational oversight responsibilities to respective doctrine centers

• 1998: Joint Duty Assignment Validation Board validated all ALSA Center positions as joint

3. Leveraging New Technology and Creative Development will Enhance Air Defense

4. Achieving Knowledge Management Interoperability across the Joint Force: The Case for KM Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

• ALSA Bulletin is published two times per year.

• Designed to inform the warfighter on recent developments in warfighting concepts, issues and Service interoperability.

• Provides a cross-Service flow of information among readers around the globe.

• Over 2500 ALSA Bulletins mailed to the Brigade/Group and Battalion/Squadron level across the Services.

• Articles are written and submitted by civilian and military personnel from all Services.

ALSA Studies

• Studies are written to determine the existence or nature of interoperability problems.

• They are accomplished at the direction of the JASC or Council of Colonels, in response to a query from the field, or by internal tasking.

• Studies include requests to write proposals for future publications or review and comment on joint and Service publications.

• Occasionally, studies are not approved for MTTP publication production due to a limited or no interoperability gap or other circumstance.
